Hot take. The most #ableist, #biased, and #bigotted opinions I have heard in my life have come from people who believe they have expertise in #medicine and #healthcare or profess belief in #PersonalResponsibility above other #collective #values, such as #CommunityCare, #BelovedCommunity, #PeopleCare, and #governance.

The US #election politics are distracting from the organizing that we need to do to create #PeopleCare and #EarthCare and #FairShare. ... I am feeling grief over #Palestine and #Sudan and #extinction and the #climateCrisis. #ThankYou for our continued #Resistance to #colonialism and #capitalism. I am grateful for our revelations and our #building a new world.
Let's keep renewing our hopes and dreams for a #SolidarityEconomy #Beauty #Love #RegenerativeFutures #Emergence
@cy @ttiurani @HeavenlyPossum the first clue about how they'd behave irl comes with their culture of origin: Tonga. That's a culture of taking care of one another. Men cook and care for children there. I don't know that the same outcome would show with a group of "typical" American kids. I don't think it's "natural" for a group of kids to devolve into chaos and mayhem, but dominant culture and childhood experiences are definitely going to matter or make a difference. Difference in basic cultural values matters. It's why I've stayed in Polynesia, over returning to the continental u.s., the people aren't terrible or selfish. They know how to cooperate and be kind to one another. Embracing/accepting capitalism as fact, whether rich or poor, makes people desperate and shitty. #EarthCare #PeopleCare #FairShare
If everybody that wanted to start "an ecovillage/retreat center" would just grow food, hold abusers accountable for their actions, and be kind to their neighbors, including kids, animals and old people, they wouldn't have to keep thinking their "novel" idea will never come to pass. 
Idk what they think is going to magically happen when they finally "have" this "retreat center". Now. Now is your now. Also: learn how to cooperate. Learn that you are *ONE* person and so is everybody else. What do YOU bring to the community table? How is YOUR ecovillage/retreat center not already where you hang your hat? Why do people always want to "start" one, but rarely ever "join" an already established one? #community #ecovillage #solarpunk #dreams #grow #farm #EarthCare #PeopleCare #FairShare
@adamvs1 The worst thing for the oppressors of the world to know is that People Care. The next worst thing is that People Demonstrate that they care. That’s generally why the police come in… to eliminate the evidence that people care. And to intimidate other people to not show they care. #PeopleCare

People care - The second ethic of Permaculture.
I grow food for myself and the people around me.
How do you show up for those around you?
If your board of directors don't give hugs and/or say "I love you guys" when the board meeting is over, what are you even doing? #cooperative #PeopleOverProfit #betterway #revolution #care #earthcare #peoplecare #fairshare
@derek The outgoing #DSA Director summarizes 12 years of #UShistory from the perspective of the Democratic #Socialists of America. I am thinking about the difference between #organizing for #power and doing #PeopleCare versus policy advocacy and lawmaking. After #MLKDay, I’m calling myself “in“ to reflect on when I am that white progressive he spoke of who cares more about order and how I am the #activist and community organizer seeking to build #grassrootsPower. #DontMournOrganize.
Is there an ethical way to practice sharecropping? Discuss. #Farming #CircularEconomy #fairshare #earthcare #peoplecare #environment
Is anyone at #Socialism2023 in #Chicago? The in-person speaker schedule looked great. I wasn’t as inspired by the virtual conference program, but I’ll take another look: it starts tomorrow. More #socialists are considering “non-reformist reforms”, such as #PublicBanking and #ParticipatoryBudgeting and even —gasp! — #Cooperatives. Cheers to the #SolidarityEconomy and all the ways we can do #PeopleCare and #FutureCare and #EarthCare. #Love #BoundlessRegenerativeCulture #permaculture
